From the previous thread:

Files in the Files folder (DirAssets) are packaged automatically.

Under what folder these files are placed and if possible to see/edit them with Windows explorer?

The Files folder is: <YourB4XProject>/B4J/Files

By the way, you can use the "Build Standalone Package" function in B4J IDE.

After " Build Standalone Package" I get temp/build folder that includes folders: bin, conf, legal, lib and xxx.exe file.
I didn't find Files folder with files at DirAssets.

I see. Now I get what you mean.

Based on my understanding, when you compile the project in Release, the files in assets folder are put inside the result.jar and can still be open with archiving tools like WinRAR.
result.jar/Files

When we choose "Build Standalone Package", the Files folder is compiled into the modules file (build/lib/modules).
I don't know any tools that can view it.

But if you continue to build the package using Inno Setup, then it is possible to reverse-engineering the exe file.

Assets files are not easily accessible (with external tools) once packed. They are inside the module in some binary format.
